Our Worship…Happy Father’s Day! Covenant of Love |
|
Our attended nursery is back… Lindsay Rude is working as our nursery attendant through July. Rachel Davidson is our Nursery Supervisor and would love to hear from those willing to volunteer for a month at a time.
Happy Father’s Day… Dads make sure you pick up your very expensive gift in our lobby today before leaving. Hope you believe it is the thought that counts, 😉
We are returning to passing the offering baskets and communion trays this morning… However, anyone who is uncomfortable with that, the sealed communion items and offering shoebox will remain in the center aisle. If you have any questions, the elders welcome them.
Remember your baby bottle… This Sunday is the deadline for turning them in. So, those who took a bottle, to fill it with change to help Open Arms Pregnancy Care Center. You can also bring your bottle in to the office next week if you forgot today 🙂
WE HAVE A SPECIAL PROJECT FOR SOMEONE… This morning you will see some of the improvements we have been working on for the past year. But we have a couple of small jobs that need attention. We need to spruce up the dressing rooms for baptisms. We need a new collection of towels, hair dryer made in this century, full length mirror that doesn’t look like it came from an amusement park and so on. If you have interest in helping with these rooms to be more welcoming just talk to Michael and he will give you more details.
Remember our Sunday morning Bible classes for children and adults… Arrty Rude is finishing up his study on Humility. Thank you for the great class, Arrty. Wayne Frisbie will be teaching his class next week, Fear God, Fearlessly through August. Let’s get back to being part of this opportunity to learn from God’s Word.
Remember to pass along your prayer requests… Please turn in your Communication Cards. Hopefully passing the basket will increase our prayer requests.

Who God IsPart 1: by Michael Lewis June 13, 2021 |

My life-lesson notebook:
God tells Moses it does NOT matter who he is; it matters who God is. Who I AM is.
Exodus 3:13,14
Exodus 14:4
It is the Nature of the Great I AM to:
1. When I AM tells His people to do something, He always helps it to happen.
“In the distant future, when you are suffering all these things, you will finally return to the Lord your God and listen to what he tells you. For the Lord your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon you or destroy you or forget the solemn covenant he made with your ancestors.” -Deuteronomy 4:31
“If you love me, obey my commandments… But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you. No, I will not abandon you as orphans-I will come to you.” -John 14:15, 17, 18
“Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.” -James 1:2-3
2. God doesn’t always lead us in the easy way.
“Tell the Israelites to turn back and camp near Pi-Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal- Zephon.” -Exodus 14:2
Exodus 14:10
“There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death.” -Proverbs 14:2
3. God often leads us to what we have to face and cannot go around.
2 Corthians 1:8,9
4. Any way God makes is for His glory and then our eternal good.
“My great glory will be displayed through Pharaoh and his troops, his chariots, and his charioteers. When my glory is displayed through them, all Egypt will see my glory and know that I am the Lord!” -Exodus 14:17-18
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” -John 14:6
Followers of The Way: Acts 9:2; 18:25; 19:9: 22:4; 24:14
“Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” -2 Corinthians 12:8-9

They are: Christine Gutierrez, Jesse Harlan, Makena Sande, Caleb Swaim, Rosie Campbell, Rachel Cutler, Britni Welter, and Sadie Annotti.
Just to complete some loose ends… We carried a church van full of food for Newby-ginnings just before Memorial Day weekend. We basically quadrupled their food pantry and some of the volunteer workers had tears in their eyes from your generosity. And also please know when we asked you to text or email a vote for Newby-ginnings as they were up against another charity for a $2,000 gift from a car dealership. Well, our votes counted and Newby-ginnings won by a significant margin to receive the check. They wanted me to make sure I told you thank you…So, thank you.

HeavenPart 8: by Michael Lewis May 30, 2021 |

“For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come.” -Hebrews 13:14
“For I have told you often before, and I say it again with tears in my eyes, that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ. They are headed for destruction. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about this life here on earth. But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own…” -Philippians 3:18-21
Heaven always has implications for right now…or at least it should.
“To God’s elect, strangers in the world, scattered…” 1 Peter 1:1
“Dear friends, I warn you as ‘temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls. Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world.’” -1 Peter 2:11-12
What we hope for is what we should live for. (1 Peter 4:7-10)
For Heaven’s sake, we are:
1. Pray for heaven’s perspective on earth.
Prayer is the exile’s native language.
“This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.’” -Matthew 6:9-10
We need a whole bunch of what’s up there, down here.
2. Translate God’s heavenly love for each person.
“The end of the world is coming soon… Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay.” -1 Peter 4:7-9
3. Build bridges from heaven to earth.
A priests and ministers build bridges to those who need the lord.
“…you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” -1 Peter 2:5-6
“…you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” -1 Peter 2:9-10
People really need the lord.
